They started implementing patch at 9am gmt today and it usually takes 3-4 hours to implement. Nikita is streaming right now until the patch goes live. https://www.twitch.tv/battlestategames
My god, been exploring the Lighthouse map offline and the FPS is atrocious. With a 5 GHz 5900X and super fast RAM, dipping into the 50's FPS in some areas. CPU limited, GPU isn't being maxed out.
Hurray for single threaded games and large maps.
See that's weird, I got a couple of Customs runs in and despite FPS being reasonably okay, it felt super sketch, jittery, slow? I don't know how to describe it really. Probably exaggerated by the new inertia system feeling like wading through treacle. May need to have a good play around with settings again as neither CPU or GPU were working as hard as I expected them to be.I’m all about checking FPS but weird for 1st time despite an overall lower fps across the board the game was soooooo much smoother than 2 wipes back.
Is this game worth getting right now with the new patch? I'd be a complete noob to the game and playing solo.
Update to this, played with settings a little last night and it's now much, much better. I hadn't changed anything from the last time I played (early last wipe), but ended up stopping textures to low (from medium) and removing all anisotropic filtering. Also enabled hardware acceleration on Discord to shift load to GPU from CPU and I think that's helped. FPS terms now sits 90-120 a lot more, the odd dip to 60, but it's made the gunplay feel much more fluid again which is infinitely better than how it felt before.See that's weird, I got a couple of Customs runs in and despite FPS being reasonably okay, it felt super sketch, jittery, slow?
